The News Argus - February, 1977 - Page 3
Law School Information Available
Mrs. Maurice Johnson,
Pre-law Advisor, recently
visited the Campbell College
School of Law in Buies
Creek, North Carolina and
has compiled some pertinent
information.
The first class consisting
of ninety-three (93) students
entered in the fall of 1976.
The school hopes to be
accredited by the time the
first class graduates.
Cecil Summers, a 1976
graduate of WSSU is one of
two black students in the
first class. His adjustment
and progress is highly
commended.
Candidates for the second
class are now being selected,
therefore, juniors who are
interested should start now
making plans for the fall of
1978. Although the LSAT
score must be submitted, it
is not the ultimate determi
nant. The average score^for
the first class Was between
565-570. More'emphasis is
placed on the personal
interview. Characteristics
that will be looked for are
honesty, general intelli
gence, the ability to work
hard and dedication. One
needs to have command of
the mechanical tools (espe
cially writing) and the ability
to make analytical judge-
Tribute To Dr. King
Memorial Week Observed
In observance of Martin
Luther King, Jr. Memorial
Week, January 9-15, the
M.M. Hauser Student Union
presented a memorial ad
dress by Capt. Floyd Griffin,
assistant professor of mili
tary science at Wake Forest
University and coordinator of
ROTC Cross Enrollment at
WSSU. Griffin’s speech
entitled, “A Perspective of a
Man Who Had a Courageous
Dream”, outlined historical
events throughout the early
civil rights movement con
centrating on Dr. King’s
endeavors and the role that
he played in the civil rights
movement.
The purpose of Griffin’s
speech was three-fold:
1) to recapitulate under-
t£ikings to those individuals
who participated in the early
Civil Rights struggle; 2) to
give present day generation
a historical overview of the
struggles that Dr. King and
the civil rights participants
confronted during the late
50’s and early 60’s; 3) to
leave an impact on the
audience to search their
souls to determine if the
courageous dream of Dr.
King has been conquered to
motivate the audience to
re-evaluate themselves in
terms of where we were,
where we are now and where
we are going.
Quoting passages from the
Bible, Griffin informed the
audience that in his youth he
had marched with King and
had known him and all the
things he stood for.
Griffin ended his address
with a reminder that King’s
dream is still alive and it is
up to us to continue the fight
for freedom.
“A Trip to Atlanta”, a
poem written and presented
by Sam Robinson set the
mood for the address along
with a heart chilling solo by
La Verne Grantham.
“Life Of A King - The
Story of Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr.”, a play written by
Authur Langford, Jr. was
presented by Langford’s
company of eight players on
Tuesday night at 8:00 p.m.
in the Kenneth R. Williams
Auditorium. The play was a
multi-media presentation
that combined drama, music
and slides to present the
story of Dr. King’s struggles
on behalf of civil rights and
human dignity.
Quoting Dr. King who
said, “It isn’t so important
how long one lives, but how
he lives,” Mrs. Betty Barnes
narrator of the play gave a
very vivid description of the
hardships and inhuman
treatment Blacks received
before the Civil Rights
Movement as a way of
introduction to each scene.
Portrayed events included
the Montgomery bus boycott
which was a result of the
attack on Rosa Parks, a black
seamstress who refused to
give up her bus seat to a
white man; the demonstra
tion in Birmingham, the
March on Washington and
Dr. King’s memorable
address, “I Have A Dream”;
the sanitation march in
Memphis and Dr. King’s
final speech. These events
which shaped American
history are portrayed against
a backdrop of slides
depicting the actual events.
The play incorporated
drama, music and slides to
present a most dynamic
reaccount of these events.
See MEMORIAL, p. 4
ments.
Interested students should
consider taking courses in
the following; Government,
History, Economics, Ac
counting, Human Behavior,
Philosophy and Laboratory
Sciences. A major in any
field is acceptable; the fine
arts excluded. A prospective
law student should choose
electives from these areas.
This school unlike some
others does give careful
consideration to recommen
dations. They should come
from individuals who can
attest to the candidate’s
ability to withstand an
extremely vigorous sche
dule, therefore recommen
dations from instructors
and/or attorneys are prefer
red.
The campus makes up the
town. It is quite spacious and
an ideal place for real study.
You may secure all the
necessary documents and
any information from Mrs.
Johnson. She can be
contacted in the Enrichment
Center in Carolina Hall.
